Gear type

Hunting Lights

Weapon lights and handhelds. Lumens tell you total output; candela tells you how far the beam actually throws.

Choose by brand

Pick the maker, then compare its current lineup side by side.

Streamlight
Consistently the value pick; the TLR line splits by pistol size.

The duty standard; wider beam than the equivalent Streamlight.
4 models listed
Olight
Popular on rifles at a lower price; less commonly chosen for duty use.
2 models listed
Modlite
Throw-focused; the candela figure is the reason to buy one.
